2010 Civic Health Assessment

The National Conference on Citizenship (NCoC), founded in 1946 and chartered by Congress in 1953, is charged with the mission of advancing our nation’s civic life. In accordance with this mission, NCoC has produced America’s Civic Health Index for the last four years to measure the level of civic engagement and health of our nation’s democracy. As a result of the passage of the bipartisan Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, this work is expanding through an annual Civic Health Assessment. The Civic Health Assessment will measure America’s civic habits across a wide range of indicators in an effort to strengthen citizen participation in their communities, states, and nation.
